MANAGEMENT REPORT
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - FOR THE 1st HALF-YEAR 2009
Overview
During the first six months of 2009 the Company's total sales increased, year on
year, by 3.6% to 24.4 mln EUR. The Company's profit before taxes was 11.1 mln
EUR, which is a 4.0% decrease compared to the same six months of 2008. The fall
in profit was due to the payment of a one off financial cost that was necessary
to secure the financing for the comprehensive network extension program during
2008 to 2010. The costs of the program will be compensated to the Company over
10 years. In 2009 the Company invested 5.5 mln EUR, of which 4.0 mln EUR was
invested in network extension and rehabilitation.

Profit and Loss Statement
2nd quarter 2009
Sales
In the 2nd quarter of 2009 the Company's total sales increased, year on year, by
3.6% to 12.1 mln EUR. Sales in the main operating activity principally comprise
of sales of water and treatment of wastewater to domestic and commercial
customers within and outside of the service area, and fees received from the
City of Tallinn for operating and maintaining the storm water system.
Sales of water and wastewater services were 11.1 mln EUR, a 4.5% increase
compared to the 2nd quarter of 2008, resulting from the 12.8% increase in
tariffs from 1 January 2009 for the Company's residential and commercial
customers combined with the factors described below.
Included within this amount were the following changes by sectors. Within the
service area, sales to residential customers increased by 8.7% to 6.1 mln EUR.
Sales to commercial customers decreased by 1.3% to 4.4 mln EUR. Sales to
customers outside of the service area - primarily bulk volumes of wastewater
treatment services provided to the surrounding municipalities - increased by
10.7% to 0.42 mln EUR. Over pollution fees received were 0.24 mln EUR, a 5.2%
increase compared to the 2nd quarter of 2008.
In the 2nd quarter of 2009, the volumes sold to residential customers dropped
3.6%. We believe that this is due to the combination of the economic recession
and the fact that people have continued to move to the surrounding areas of
Tallinn.
The volumes sold to commercial customers inside the service area decreased by
12.5% compared to the relevant period in 2008. The majority of the reduction in
sales volumes in Tallinn is a result of the macroeconomic impact of companies
reducing their production volumes and implementing efficiency measures,
supplemented by companies moving to surrounding municipalities.
The sales from the operation and maintenance of the storm water and fire-hydrant
system decreased by 10.0% to 0.72 mln EUR in the 2nd quarter of 2009 compared to
the same period in 2008 as result of low storm water volumes compared to 2008.
This is in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract whereby the
storm water and fire hydrant costs are invoiced based on actual costs and
volumes treated.
Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Margin
The cost of goods sold for the main operating activity was 4.3 mln EUR in the
2nd quarter of 2009, a decrease of 0.01 mln EUR or 0.3% from the equivalent
period in 2008.
In the 2nd quarter of 2009 the Company did not achieve the beneficial 0.5
coefficient for pollution tax, and the amount of pollution tax payable was 0.36
mln EUR compared to 0.33 mln EUR in 2nd quarter of 2008. This increase in
pollution tax was mainly due to the increase in tax rates year on year by 20%,
partly offset by the reduction in treatment volumes. As the pollution level of
the incoming sewerage has continued to increase the Company is actively
analysing a range of alternatives to improve the waste water treatment processes
and to use the optimum level of chemicals to achieve the 0.5 coefficient in the
forthcoming quarters.
Chemical costs were 0.35 mln EUR, representing a 17.7% decrease compared to the
corresponding period in 2008. This result is the combination of volumes treated,
chemicals dosed and the favorable price impact.
Electricity costs increased by 0.10 mln EUR or 24.0% in the 2nd quarter of 2009
compared to the 2nd quarter of 2008 due to higher electricity prices.
Salary expenses decreased in the 2nd quarter of 2009, year on year, by 0.04 mln
EUR or 3.5% due to some reduction in the performance related pay accrual.
Depreciation charges increased in the 2nd quarter of 2009 by 0.01 mln EUR or
0.2% year on year.
Transport costs decreased by 0.05 mln EUR, or 16.6% year on year, due to the
combination of the reduction in fuel prices and reduced rates for rental
machines.
Other cost of goods sold in the main operating activity stayed on the same level
year on year. As a result of the successful negotiation of long term contracts
the applicable unit rates were reduced for a number of support services and
maintenance contracts.
As a result of all of the above the Company's gross profit for the 2nd quarter
of 2009 was 7.7 mln EUR, which is an increase of 0.44 mln EUR, or 6.0%, compared
to the gross profit of 7.3 mln EUR for the 2nd quarter of 2008.
Operating Costs and Operating Margin
Marketing expenses decreased by 0.03 mln EUR to 0.17 mln EUR during the 2nd
quarter of 2009 compared to the corresponding period in 2008. This is partly the
result of the cost savings, balanced by the minor increase in depreciation
charges.
Mainly as a consequence of lower services costs the General administration
expenses decreased by 0.09 mln EUR to 0.82 mln EUR in the 2nd quarter of 2009
year on year.
Via successful negotiation of a range of outsourced service contracts new,
beneficial rates have been achieved for the most of the cost items. The
management's target is to achieve further efficiencies through a thorough review
of processes and work organization.
Other net income/expenses
Income/expenses from constructions and government grants totaled a net income of
0.33 mln EUR, in the 2nd quarter of 2009 compared to a net income of 0.30 mln
EUR in the 2nd quarter of 2008. The rest of the other income/expenses totaled an
expense of 0.24 mln EUR in the 2nd quarter of 2009 compared to an income of 0.01
mln EUR in the 2nd quarter of 2008, mainly due to slightly worsened debt
collection. Still more than 99% of debt is collected in a timely manner.
As a result of all of the above the Company's operating profit for the 2nd
quarter of 2009 was 6.8 mln EUR, an increase of 0.34 mln EUR compared to an
operating profit of 6.5 mln EUR achieved in the 2nd quarter of 2008. Compared to
the operating profit in the 2nd quarter of 2008, the operating profit has
increased 5.2%.
Financial expenses
Net Financial expenses were 2.1 mln EUR in the 2nd quarter of 2009, which is an
increase of 1.4 mln EUR or 193.4% compared to the 2nd quarter of 2008. The
Company's interest costs have decreased by 23.5% compared to the 2nd quarter of
2008 as result of the reduction in Euribor rates. The financial costs were
higher than in 2008 due to a one off payment of unwinding costs of 1.7 mln EUR,
as explained below. The increase in expenses is partially offset by an increase
in financial income earned during the 2nd quarter of 2009, as a result of a more
favourable cash position and higher deposit rates.
The Company finalised the loan negotiations and concluded a 20 mln EUR, 10-year
maturity loan agreement with the Nordic Investment Bank on the 9th of April. The
necessity for this additional loan resource was triggered by the comprehensive
3-year network expansion program, the costs of which will be compensated to the
Company over a period of ten years. The new capex loan agreement triggered the
full repayment of the EBRD loan in May 2009. The EBRD loan was hedged with a
fixed interest rate, therefore we incurred unwinding costs of 1.7 mln EUR
related to the early repayment of the loan and low Euribor rates.
All loan agreements are currently based on a floating interest rate. To mitigate
the interest rate risk the Company concluded fixed interest rate swap agreements
worth 45 mln EUR with forward start dates in the 2nd quarter of 2009. For a base
amount of 30 mln EUR the forward start date activates on 29 November 2009 and
for the balance of 15 mln EUR the forward start date activates on 28 May 2010.
The current total available loan facility is 95 mln EUR, from which we have
drawn down 75 mln EUR. The current weighted average interest margin is 0.55%,
for the total available facility the margin is 0.67%.
Profit Before Tax
The Company's profit before taxes for the 2nd quarter of 2009 was 4.8 mln EUR,
which is 1.0 mln EUR lower than the profit before taxes of 5.8 mln EUR for the
2nd quarter of 2008.
The Company recorded 3.9 mln EUR income tax as the result of 14.7 mln EUR
dividends distributed in the 2nd quarter of 2009.
Results for the 1st six months of 2009
During the first six months of 2009 the Company's total sales increased, year on
year, by 5.1% to 24.4 mln EUR. Sales of water and wastewater treatment were 22.4
mln EUR, a 4.8% increase compared to the six months of 2008.
The Company's profit before taxes for the six months of 2009 was 11.1 mln EUR,
which is 0.46 mln EUR lower than the profit before taxes of 11.5 mln EUR in the
relevant period in 2008. Lower profit before taxes for the six months of 2009
compared to 2008 is due to the one-off impact of the financial costs discussed
above, worth 1.7 mln EUR.
The Company's net profit for the six months of 2009 was 7.1 mln EUR, which is
0.13 mln EUR lower than the net profit of 7.3 mln EUR in the equivalent period
in 2008.
Balance sheet
During the six months of 2009 the Company invested 5.5 mln EUR into fixed
assets. Non-current assets were 139.1 mln EUR at 30 June 2009. Current assets
decreased by 1.2 mln EUR to 21.1 mln EUR in the first six months of the year,
customer receivables increased by 0.34 mln EUR. During the six months of 2009
cash at bank decreased by 1.4 mln EUR.
Current liabilities decreased by 1.6 mln EUR to 10.7 mln EUR in the first six
months of the year. This was mainly due to decreases in the Current portion of
long-term borrowings by 5.0 mln EUR, as a result of the repayment of the loan,
an increase in Trade payables by 2.6 mln EUR, and an increase in Customer
prepayments by 0.08 mln EUR.
The Company continues to maintain its leverage level within its target range of
50% with total liabilities to total capital employed of 53.6% as of 30 June
2009. Long-term liabilities stood at 75.1 mln EUR at the end of June 2009,
consisting almost entirely of the outstanding balance of three long-term bank
loans.
Cash flow
During the six months of 2009, the Company generated 12.4 mln EUR of cash flows
from operating activities, a decrease of 2.5 mln EUR compared to the
corresponding period in 2008. The reduction in operating cash flows was
explained by the payment of the discussed one off financial costs, in addition
the first quarter of 2008 was positively impacted by proceeds of some big
services invoices issued at end of 2007. Underlying operating profit still
continues to be the main driver for growth.
In the first six months of 2009 net cash inflows from investing activities were
0.85 mln EUR, which is 0.97 mln EUR less than in 2008. This was mainly due to
the change in constructions compensation mechanism that resulted from the 30
November 2007 agreement signed with the local municipality. In the 1st quarter
of 2008 the Company received compensation for 2007 constructions. In 2009 the
Company invested 5.5 mln EUR - 4.0 mln EUR on networks (including 2.8 mln EUR on
extension and developments), 0.50 mln EUR at Paljassaare wastewater treatment
plant and sludge treatment, 0.19 mln EUR on water quality (Ülemiste water
treatment plant and raw water) and 0.80 mln EUR for other investments (IT,
capital maintenance, meters, etc).
The cash outflows from financing activities were 14.7 mln EUR during the first
six months of 2009 compared to a cash outflow of 15.9 mln EUR during the same
six months of 2008, representing the payouts of the dividend. The Company repaid
and fully refinanced the loan of EBRD due to the need to finance the extensive
network extension program and related investment outflows until 2011, as
explained above.
As a result of all of the above factors, the total cash outflow in the six
months of 2009 was 1.4 mln EUR compared to a cash inflow of 0.86 mln EUR in the
six months of 2008. Cash and cash equivalents stood at 13.3 mln EUR as at 30
June 2009.
Employees
At the end of the 2nd quarter of 2009, the total number of employees was 332
compared to 314 at the end of the 2nd quarter of 2008. The full time equivalent
(FTE) was respectively 315 in 2009 compared to the 303 in 2008. The increase in
FTE is due to the design, project management and supervision needs of the
network extension program and partly supplemented by the need for the employees
to provide the extra services under the trademark “Veemees” launched in 2008.
Dividends and share performance
Based on the results of the 2008 financial year, the Company paid 14,700,318 EUR
of dividends. Of this 639 EUR was paid to the owner of the B-share
and 14,699,679 EUR, i.e. 0.73 EUR per share to the owners of the A-shares. The
dividends were paid out on 12 June 2009, based on the list of shareholders,
which was fixed on 01 June 2009.
AS Tallinna Vesi is listed on OMX Main Baltic Market with trading code TVEAT and
ISIN EE3100026436.

Operational highlights in the six months of 2009
The Company secured the long term loan facility in the 2nd quarter of 2009. The
comprehensive negotiations with commercial banks and investment banks started a
year ago and were finalised with the securities transfer agreements at the end
of May 2009. We have increased the available loan facility from 75 mln EUR to 95
mln EUR. The necessity for this additional loan resource was triggered by the
extensive 3-year network expansion program, the costs of which will be
compensated to the Company over a period of ten years.
By the end of the 2nd quarter the Company signed all needed appendixes to
implement the 30-years Maardu's operating agreement from 1st July 2009, to
provide water, wastewater and operations and maintenance. This will provide the
citizens of Maardu with an access to Tallinna Vesi's EU compliant water and
wastewater. This contract is the first of its kind and demonstrates the
willingness of other cities and municipalities to partner with Tallinna Vesi for
the benefit of their communities.
In June the IR Magazine UK and Continental Europe Awards named the Company the
best listed company in the field of investor relations among the companies
listed on the Tallinn Stock Exchange.
The Company has shared the 1st and 2nd place within the Corporate Social
Responsibility ranking of 49 Estonian companies achieving a magnificent 93%
score. This is a great accolade for the high quality service offered, the
knowledge sharing and experience of employees and excellent results in
environmental and work environment performance.
Due to fall in sales volumes it has been a challenging half-year for the
Company. We are still pleased to report that the cost efficiency programs we
have initiated and successful contract negotiations have enabled us to
compensate the fall in revenues.
